Time to post your goals for the week of 8/05/95. Be sure to post
progress from last week as well. If you are a Writer's Workshop lurker, come
and join us in posting our goals for the week. You will be glad uou did!
Post weekly goals! Give it a try, just once. I promise it will really
help keep you on track with your current projects. Send out the GOAL POST
every week by Saturday. Make it a habit to start posting your goals with
us.
My goals for last week and progress report...
1. Do the newsletter for Southwest Washington Writers.
I'm not responsible for this one not being done. I wasn't given the
material to work with.
2. Locate artwork for the September issue.
Believe me, I've tried. And I'll KEEP trying but don't be too surprized
to see a text cover one of these months. ;-)
3. Write and/or polish several bird articles.
I did write ONE bird article. I still need to rewrite it a couple of
times and I need to take some pictures but they take considerable time
to set up. I did buy the film already though.
4. Attend screening program at the Employment Security Department.
ROFL. I got the name of the place written down next to the address of a
different place; I ended up at the WRONG place. So I called and I have
to go in on this Monday. Sheesh. I need to check my facts better. ;-)
My goals for this week are to...
1. Make my appointment on Monday, this time.
2. Get three of my kids safely to grandpa's 200 miles a way. They are
staying for a whole week. YEAH! This is like my first VACATION since
my mother died.
3. Try to entertain my youngest son all week while the other kids are gone.
4. Keep working on the September issue. It should be a nice one.
5. Do the club newsletter, IF someone brings by the material.
On a personal note:
It's been a LONG week. So many errands to run, so much to do... But I
think I've made a lot of progress.
I've also had some unsettling health problems that have me quite worried.
I think I may have to break down and get myself to a doctor, just-in-case.
My husband is getting a pick-up truck today. A very OLD pick-up truck
but it's been rebuilt all over the place and he's happy. We'll be a two car
family again after having NO car for over a year and only one car since 1988.
The kids, all but the youngest one, will be gone for over a week so my
husband and I and DJ are going to the ocean next weekend. I'm so excited!
It's been a very long time. We'll only be able to stay overnight one night
but we can roam around on the beach for two days. I'm really looking forward
to it.
I received a copy of an article of mine that was published in a small
press magazine, a nice small press 'zine. I'd forgotten I'd submitted the
piece. It looked really nice and I got a little over a one-and-a-half page
spread. So I dug out an article I'd used in WWR under a pen name once and
sent IT out to the editor too. Might as well get some milage out of the
piece.

Have a great writing week!

WRITER'S WORKSHOP PRAYER
The Writer's Workshop is a place where myself and several other
writers of vastly different backgrounds in writing, hope to come to
discuss the ins and outs of the writing business. This is a place we
hope will become home to writers who take what they do seriously, be
they beginners or seasoned professionals; people who want to learn and
share with others.
We encourage everyone to share the rejections and of course the
highlights, so that we can celebrate with you. This should be a place of
sharing and a place of laughter, NOT A PLACE TO SHOW OFF OR CONDEMN!
Everyone is welcome to share their views, but PLEASE, NO PUBLIC BASHING!
(Use E-mail for that. <G>
